I'm not familiar with the ncp module, so I don't know which services it provides. I suggest to simply try it out, and replace all pam_unix services by the ncp':) (do it from a console, you wouldn't be the first that locks itself out of the system). > What can I do to overpass this PAM-unix2 module(since > it is not in my conf file)? the other services still use pam_unix, so that is the problem in this case.
